I have a theory that hooks creationism into the evolutionary way of things. The way I've seen it is that there is factual evidence for some kind of special enhancement given to a certain group of hominds who were evolving right along with the other hominids around them and these special hominds eventually pushed the others out.
I've read about an homind they've called 'mitochrondrial Eve' and from what I gather they've traced every persons genes through their mother's side back to a single female in Africa. This was accomplished by looking at a sample of people's mitochondria which are passed to us directly from our mothers and are not affected by the male's genes and then accounting for mutation which was figured out to be a constant rate. So anyways it all leads back to a singleAfrican female thousands of years ago.
So now if you wanted to put creationism into the mix, you make this woman the biblical Eve and get another homonid, call him Adam and then God up there gives them the spark of life or whatever it was. So now you've got these two hominds,stick them in the Kenyan jungle for a Garden of Eden and BAM it's Genesis all over again.
Now remember all the other of hominds are still there, in Africa but considering the advantage the Adam/Eve-type 'blessed' hominds have, they slowly push them out and now we've got a whole world descended from two people just like the book says. A square creationism peg into a round Darwainism hole.
There's problems in it though, they didn't use real africans for one of the tests, they used monkeys to calitbrate some of mitochondrial mutation rate, that big flood, and that the bible doesn't mention a bunch of other hominds running around. The big thing though, and why hard-core creationists would probably would never accept it is that it makes Joe KKK one part to a million black, but if they did they wouldn't have to keep saying that man co-existed with dinosaurs which sounds hillariously ridiculous.
I'm not an Evolutionary Anthropologist or a Cellular Microbiologist or an Old Testament Theologist and I'm trying to recall all the facts from last semester's history class but I think I got the jist of all that stuff right and atleast the information seems to be interesting and I know that I like some mysticism mixed with my science.
I have a theory that puts creationism nicely into evolutional way of things. The way I've seen it is that there is factual evidence for some kind special enhancement given to certain group of hominds who were evolving with other hominids around them to make them takeover the other groups.

Exactley- There's no way that Autodesk could be losing money from me having (if I did), say autocad map. Beacuse there's no way an unemployed highschooler can get together the thousands of dollars to buy it. But when I do get a job and money and I want GIS program I'll probably remember liking their product and pay for it.
If it doesn't air on fox again you'd almost definetly be able to get someone in Canada to tape it for you. The space network picks up all the odd sci-fi stuff fox trys out like... harsh realm, millenium, beyond belief, alien autopsy, above and beyond and the like..
